Title: Optimization of Shaker Locations for Multiple Shaker Environmental Testing

Abstract

For flight payloads or systems in free flight, Impedance Matched Multi-Axis Testing (IMMAT) can provide an accurate laboratory reproduction of the flight vibration environment at multiple response locations. IMMAT is performed by controlling multiple shakers attached to the system of interest, usually through slender rods so that the shakers impart negligible moments or shear forces at the attachment.

Balancing Impedance and Controllability in Response Reconstruction with $$\mathrm{TS-IMMAT}$$

Journal Article Tuman, M. J. ; Behling, M. ; Allen, M. S. ; ... - Experimental Techniques

In a prior work the authors proposed a variant on the Impedance Matched Multi-Axis Test (IMMAT) in which a fixture is defined, called the Transmission Simulator (TS), and the desired environment is matched at a set of sensors on the TS. If the motion of the TS is matched then the response of the rest of the component will also match, provided that the attached component has the same dynamics as it did when the environment was measured. Hence, one would like the TS to be flexible so that it reproduces the boundary conditions that the component of interest experiencesmore »« less

Shape-constrained Input Estimation for Efficient Multi-shaker Vibration Testing

Journal Article Schultz, Ryan ; Avitabile, Peter - Experimental Techniques

Multi-shaker vibration testing is gaining interest from structural dynamics test engineers as it can provide a much more accurate match to complicated field vibration responses than traditional single-axis shaker tests. However, the force capabilities of the small modal shakers typically used in multi-shaker vibration tests has limited the achievable response levels. To date, most multi-shaker vibration tests have been performed using a variety of standard, commercially-available control systems. While these control systems are adequate for a wide range of multiple-input/multiple-output tests, their control algorithms have not been tailored for the specific problem of multi-shaker vibration tests: efficiently coordinating the variousmore »« less

Multiple direction vibration fixture

Patent Application Cericola, F ; Doggett, J W ; Ernest, T L ; ...

An apparatus for simulating a rocket launch environment on a test item undergoing centrifuge testing by subjecting the item simultaneously or separately to vibration along an axis of centripetal force and along an axis perpendicular to the centripetal force axis. The apparatus includes a shaker motor supported by centrifuge arms and a right angle fixture pivotally connected to one of the shaker motor mounts. When the shaker motor vibrates along the centripetal force axis, the vibrations are imparted to a first side of the right angle fixture. The vibrations are transmitted 90 degrees around the pivot and are directed tomore »« less
